Jenniffer helped to establish the Tim Weigel Scholarship Fund in honor
of her late father to raise money for broadcast journalism students in
financial need. With the help of colleagues Bob Costas, Greg Gumbel, and
Brent Musburger, the fund is now part of an annual event that has gained
national attention. She plans to donate a portion of the sales from this
book to the Tim Weigel Scholarship Fund.

In her 2007 book, Stay Tuned, Weigel was on a mission to find an
answer to one of these burning questions: What happens when we die? Her
humorous and irreverent exploration of the topic continues in her
one-woman play, \“I\'m Spiritual, Dammit! (Climbing the Mountain of
Enlightenment With a Martini in One Hand and My Pumps in the Other
…),\” which is mostly based on her book and is currently showing at
the Viaduct Theater in Chicago.
